1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

objectiveTo determine the risk of developing obesity and related metabolic complications in children following long-term treatment with risperidone or quetiapine.

methodsThis was a 1-year naturalistic longitudinal study conducted between February 2009 and March 2012. A total of 130 children aged 2 to 18 years without prior exposure to second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) were enrolled at initiation of treatment with either risperidone or quetiapine. Metabolic parameters were measured at baseline and months 6 and 12. Data of 37 participants (20 treated with risperidone and 17 treated with quetiapine) who completed 12-month monitoring were used in the analysis.

resultsAfter 1 year of SGA treatment, mean weight increased significantly by 10.8 kg (95% CI 7.9 kg to 13.7 kg) for risperidone and 9.7 kg (95% CI 6.5 kg to 12.8 kg) for quetiapine. Body mass index z score also increased significantly in both groups (P < 0.001). There was a high incidence of children becoming overweight or obese (6/15 [40.0%] for risperidone-treated and 7/14 [50.0%] for quetiapine-treated). The mean levels of fasting glucose (for risperidone-treated) and ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (for quetiapine-treated) increased significantly by 0.23 mmol/L (95% CI 0.03 mmol/L to 0.42 mmol/L) and 0.48 mmol/L (95% CI 0.15 mmol/L to 0.80 mmol/L), respectively.

conclusionChildren treated with risperidone or quetiapine are at a significant risk for developing obesity, elevated waist circumference, and dyslipidemia during 12 months of treatment. These data emphasize the importance of regular monitoring for early identification and treatment of metabolic side effects.
